Welcome to the American Legion Boys Nation 2007 website. Boys Nation is a week-long
citizenship and government program in the nation's capital that is designed
to instill in each participant a deep loyalty to America while providing
practical insight into the operation of the federal government. Participants
are high school students who have completed their junior year.
Boys Nation combines lectures, forums and field trips to federal agencies,
institutions, memorials and historical sites in and around the Washington,
DC area. Actual participation in the political process is highlighted
throughout the week's activities to include the organization of party
conventions, the introduction and debate on bills and resolutions, and
the election of a Boys Nation President and Vice President.
At Boys Nation, each delegate represents his state (Boys State) as a senator in the structure of a mock Senate, which follows the rules and procedures of the United States Senate.
The buttons to the left will take you to each day's activities once the information is available.
